7.2 Searching for a Word or Phrase Using Find

Find lets you display items that contain specific subjects, recipients, or words. Find will search all
files and folders looking for exact matches.
When you use Find, all items that do not match the criteria you select are hidden from view. Find
does not actually move or delete items; it displays certain items based on the criteria you specify.
When you clear the Find criteria, the hidden items are displayed.
1 Open the folder you want to search.
2 Type a word or phrase in the Find field.
The word or phrase can be any set of consecutive characters contained in the item you are
trying to find.
3 Choose the item you want from the filtered list of items.
To clear the find criteria, click the name of the folder in the folder list.

7.3 Searching with Criteria

1 On the main WebAccess page, click Search
2 To search for specific text, select Full Text or Subject, then type what you are looking for in the
field.
3 To search for a name, select From or To/CC, then type the name in the field.
4 Select each item type you are looking for, then select each item source you are looking for.
5 In the Search in list box, click the folders and/or libraries you want to search in.
You might need to click the plus sign (+) next to your user folder to expand the folder structure.
All of your folders are searched by default. To speed up your search, select only the folders you
want to search.
6 Click Find.
7 Choose the item you want from the filtered list of items.

7.4 Narrowing a Search

You can use Search to narrow your search.
In the first field of the Search window, type the uncommon words you notice in the item. If you
search using common words, the results of your search are likely too large to be very helpful.
To increase the speed of your search, select the folders that probably contain the item you are
looking for.
If you cannot find the document or message, check your search criteria for misspelled words.
Also, check the syntax of your search to make sure you are telling Search to search for exactly
what you want.
